BACKGROUND Tract 8064, Ironwood, is the third phase of the residential development proposed by Ponderosa Homes for their Active Adult development. The property is located on the north side of the Operations Services Center as shown on the attached vicinity map (Attachment 1). On April 15, 2009, the Planning Commission approved an application from Ponderosa Homes for a Vesting Tentative Map to subdivide an approximately 23.1-acre site located on Bradford Way (formally Reimers Drive). The Tentative map allows for the division of the site into 110 single-family home lots, plus four common area parcels. The Tentative Map is consistent with the PUD development plan for this site. After the approval of the Vesting Tentative Map in April 2009, the City Council approved Tract 8004 which included three residential lots and five large parcels for future sub- division. Subsequently, on September 15, 2009, City Council approved Tract 8023 a subdivision of lots 4, 6 and 7 of Tract 8004 which created forty residential lots. The Engineering staff, Planning staff, and the City Attorney's Office have reviewed the Final Map and other legal documents for Tract 8064. All submittals are in substantial conformance with the PUD and Tentative Map approvals. Development fees have been paid and a signed Subdivision Agreement has been submitted. DISCUSSION Proposed Improvements Tract 8064, the third phase of the Ironwood Development, includes the extension of Bingham Street, Felton Terrace, and Newport Street which were partially constructed with Tract 8004. Additionally, Chatham Place will be partially constructed with this phase. All the streets within the development are private and will be maintained by the Homeowners Association (HOA). The sanitary sewer and water systems within these private streets will be maintained and operated by the City. The streets, storm drain, landscaping and irrigation systems within the subdivision, will be maintained by the HOA. Discretion to Deny the Finai Map The approval of a Final Map when the Final Map substantially complies with the conditions of the Tentative Map is a mandatory, ministerial act (Government Code, Section 66474.1). Put another way, a Final Map shall be disapproved only for failure to meet conditions that were applicable at the time the Tentative Map was approved. If the Final Map is disapproved, there must be a finding identifying the conditions which were not met (Government Code, section 66473). Staff has reviewed the conditions of approval of the Tentative Map, and finds that all have been satisfied and that the Final Map complies with the conditions of the Tentative Map. Page 2 of 3
